“On the one hand, we have to build socialism. On the other hand, we must above all and first of all create the orderly conditions for which everyone is clamoring, and we must put an end to decomposition, indiscipline and corruption. Because we are now strong, since our enemies have been annihilated, we do not have to fear making use of the social forces that were previously opposed to us. We must therefore allow the "intelligentsia", who previously sabotaged our efforts, to work for us. They worked for capital in exchange for money. And we shall buy them with money, and make them work for us.”
Nikolai Osinsky
